Aunt Li spoke with a worried expression, her eyes filled with intense anxiety.

“Why?” Jian Yufei asked in surprise.

“The young master said that we didn’t obey his order and let you out yesterday, so there’s no need for us to stay and work anymore.”

Yufei opened her mouth slightly, feeling choked up.

No wonder he wasn’t punishing her directly, he chose to start with the servants.

“Miss, we’ve been working for the Ruan family for over a decade, we’ve grown accustomed to everything here. We were supposed to receive a decent retirement fund after twenty years of service. Now, we’re just a few years away from that, but the young master suddenly dismissed us– it feels like all those years were in vain. Miss, can you please plead with the young master not to fire us?”

Yufei understood that Aunt Li wouldn’t ask her for help unless it was really serious.

At the end of the day, it was her who had dragged them into this.

“Alright, I’ll go talk to him right now.”

“Thank you, Miss. You’re such a kind person.”

Yufei gave a bitter smile internally. Being a good person wasn’t easy.

She slowly walked towards the stairs, her speed hindered by the pain in her leg but she tried her best to appear normal.

Downstairs, Ruan Tianling was sitting on the sofa as if he had been waiting for her.

As soon as Yufei appeared, his gaze fell on her, and then on her burnt leg.

Tianling rarely saw her in shorts.

Although he didn’t have any feelings for her, he knew just how slender and white her legs were. When entwined around him in bed, they always led him to lose control.

Now, those same legs that once stirred his desire were injured.

He had noticed the burn on her leg yesterday. It must have happened in the restaurant. He was too angry then to notice she had been burnt and since she didn’t show any discomfort, he didn’t suspect a thing.

What he was truly angry about was her disobedience, her defiance. So far, no one had ever challenged his pride and patience other than her.

He had restrained himself from slapping her in the restaurant yesterday.

What’s more, she had humiliated Yueyue, leaving her in tears for a long time. That sight both irritated and hurt him. So when he was punishing her in bed yesterday, he deliberately ignored the burn on her leg.

But now, looking at her leg again, the burnt area was a large patch of red, with some blistered skin. It looked rather severe from the outside.

Contrary to his mood yesterday, today he found her injured leg somewhat distasteful.

Tianling kept staring at Yufei’s leg.

Only when a pair of fluffy white slippers appeared in front of him did he come back to reality.

“I want to talk with you.” Jian Yufei stood half a meter away from him and spoke calmly.

“About what?” He raised his eyes slightly, letting his gaze idle on her.

“Why did you fire Aunt Li and the others? It was I who insisted on going out yesterday, it had nothing to do with them. If you’re angry, take it out on me.”

Ruan Tianling smirked, “With your petite body? How many rounds can you stand? After one round last night, you looked half-dead. A few more and you might not survive.”
